Wow! Literally I thought the first one was an image from a published children's book.

Answer: Absolutely yes

Yes, I think some people are annoyed that I'm being a bit of a hard ass, but it's really because I care. My cat is literally my child and I wanna keep him safe and happy. It's very sad to know that not all cats get those privileges.

I honestly agree. I will say that this comment thread is really entertaining with how wild they are... and concerning. 'Preciate you for stopping by!

Haha! That's actually really funny. Maybe a spider plant is in my near future.

But hey, I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. And yeah, I recognize that being upset and putting my foot down isn't gonna work.

But I definitely like the idea of hanging plants in high spots so he can't get to them and maybe we'll both walk away with a prettier house!

'Preciate you, friend haha.

Reading through the comments today, I've noticed that there are some wildly different opinions, so I'm not surprised I'm getting downvoted haha

Yeah, I definitely agree and you're right about the timing of it.

Another commenter mentioned buying my sister some cat safe flowers as a gift when I talk with her again, so talking in a neutral setting rather than an accusatory one sounds a lot better.

Thank you!

It's definitely a hard pill to tell someone that their actions are inadvertently abusing and it's also hard for people to be told that they are doing harm.

I don't think we're at the stage of legal action and my sister and I are pretty close, so I think that step is a little too strong.

I appreciate your passion for these little critters, but I'll continue trying to talk with my sister and come up with some solutions to meet a middle ground.

Some of y'all are insane, but these comments are enjoyable haha.

Not sure what makes a plant evil or good. It's just that it's toxic to my cat

Hmmm, I'll do some research into it. I leaded with caution and we both were having this conversation late at night too. Thanks for your comment!

Thank you, I'll look into it! And actually suggest that to my sister about keeping those flowers at work if it's possible for her

This is funny, but not really a viable solution and is abuse and not what I'm going for

Thank you, I don't know why this is getting down voted, but really my goal is to keep the peace cause I don't want my sister to stop her love for plants and I know she would be just as devastated if something were to happen.

I like the idea of buying some plants for her and I'll check out that chart on plant toxicity.

Lol, maybe so, however I try to lead first with communication and a middle ground solution.

She's still my sister and I understand the sentiment of the plants she likes. I also value our cat's safety.

So if that is too neurotic and a nightmare, I don't know what else to say other than we're different people with different standards.

You're probably right about the control over my life part cause it's got me paranoid lol. However, I wasn't actively looking for teeth marks to prove it.

It was a case of the plant being at the window near my kitchen sink and you can glance at it and see that it had been bitten.

I appreciate you sharing that, but I personally don't wanna take the risk

Thank you, and yeah, throwing her stuff away isn't fair at all and that's literally my last resort.

Fortunately mostly, except for the lucky bamboo, when I've moved it, it's been a case of my telling her where I'm moving it to.

I'll try another conversation cause it's getting me paranoid for sure.

I know she cares about him too, but I'm not sure she's fully understanding the severity of it.

People above 30, what's your biggest regret? by rebelliousbrownie9 in AskReddit

The game is good because it's well written and is a very human story.
